Grants/Research Highlights

The NASA CREST-ME Project at AMSC seeks to increase the number of underrepresented, underserved and minority students successfully pursuing and completing Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and NASA-related courses and programs of study. Through Undergraduate Research Courses (BIOL/CHEM/PHYS 2245) here at AMSC, STEM majors are able to conduct NASA-related research projects. Feel free to ask our NASA research scholars question pertaining to their research and how you too can become a NASA CREST-ME Research Scholar. This program is funded through the NASA Curriculum Improvement Partnership Award for Integration of Research into the Undergraduate Curriculum (NNX10AU74GE).

Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement (MESA) is nationally recognized for its innovative and effective academic development program. MESA provides opportunities for students, including the underserved student population, to achieve in math engineering, and science. MESA engages students in a wide array of activities, including: learning communities, research, and mentoring.

This book is a series of writings built around interviews conducted by the author with Swami Muktananda Karmu, born Edgar Warner in 1910. Karmu practiced a system of health care that was constructed on the foundation of traditional Asian and African holistic healing. During the final phase of his life, Karmu was widely viewed as a healer, shaman, and spiritual alchemist. In this book the author shares the endorsed theories and practices of Swami Muktananda Karmu.
